Is there something i can use that will give me more than 2 random arguments?
Hi. First off, I'm just messing around with the code of someone else's work to help get a better understanding of how it works so I can make my own version without stealing all there code. I would like to make it so that the blood particles that spawn, spawn randomly on different limbs. It normally just spawns on the torso which looks weird.
I tried to use math.random to make a random value, but I want more than 2 arguments, is there some function that can do that? I'm not aware of it and I'm pretty new to coding.

I am somewhat confused as to what you mean.. Do you want to get multiple values from math.random? If so, I'd do a for loop to get multiple math.random values. Kyokamii 133 — 5y

I think I understand what you mean, you want to get a number of parts randomly to insert the fx? This can go in StarterCharacterScripts as a LocalScript. Next time include some code, normally people won't help otherwise.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local limbs_to_affect = 3
math.randomseed(tick())
-- you need to randomize the randomizer
local function random_limbs()
local parts = {}
-- table to store limbs
for i,v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
local part = v:IsA("BasePart")
-- Is part a part?
if part then
-- If so insert into parts table
table.insert(parts, v)
-- (table, index or 1 on default, value)
end
end
repeat table.remove (parts, math.random(#parts) ) wait() until #parts == limbs_to_affect
-- will error if there aren't enough limbs, write an upgrade
return parts
end
humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
for i,v in pairs( random_limbs() ) do
-- loop through our limbs table
Instance.new('Fire', v )
-- parent fx to part
end
end)
